A latex agglutination method for the rapid detection of beta-hemolytic streptococci from Lancefield serogroup C in throat swabs from 403 university students with symptomatic pharyngitis was evaluated. Compared with culture, the rapid test was poorly sensitive (34.4%) but very specific (98.4%) in detecting group C beta-hemolytic streptococci. The sensitivity of the rapid test improved with an in...

Understanding narrative text is an urgency for students. Reading not just about seeing symbols, but understanding the meaning of those symbols. This research used to find problems or in reading. The purpose this study describe that can be understood by students reading grade 4 online learning at SDN Margorejo 1/403. uses a descriptive approach. Researchers 40 4B and took 3 as subjects. techniqu...

Banks use over-the-counter derivative (OTCD) contracts for sharing the risks of their asset streams. OTCDs are composed of an optimal combination of interbank loans, asset swaps and credit default swaps (CDS). The settlement of ex-post realized claims are renegotiated by participating banks after defaults by one or more banks to minimize the systemic impact of the default. The bailout by a solv...

BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease characterized by cardiac hypertrophy, myocyte disarray, interstitial fibrosis, and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We have proposed that hypertrophy and fibrosis, the major determinants of mortality and morbidity, are potentially reversible. We tested this hypothesis in beta-myosin heavy chain-Q(403) transgenic rabbits. METHODS AN...

BACKGROUND The histopathological subtype, nuclear grade and presence or absence of comedonecrosis are established as critical elements in the reporting of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. The aims of this study were to determine the frequencies of morphological subtypes of DCIS, nuclear grade and comedonecrosis; to compare the age of patients with the histopathological characteris...

We consider semidefinite programming relaxations of the quadratic assignment problem, and show how to exploit group symmetry in the problem data. Thus we are able to compute the best known lower bounds for several instances of quadratic assignment problems from the problem library: [R.E. Burkard, S.E. Karisch, F. Rendl. QAPLIB — a quadratic assignment problem library. Journal on Global Optimiza...

We describe our experiences with quantitative immunoelectrophoresis, by both the procedure of Clarke and Freeman [din. Sci. 35, 403 (1968)1 and the small-scale modification of Davies et at. [Ibid. 40, 411 (1971)]. Difficulties encountered, aids in measuring and identifying the peaks, and data on the reproducibility of the two procedures are described. Finally, their applicability to cerebrospin...
